Biography

Meredith is a second year PhD student studying similarities in form and content between modernist poetry and the metaphysical poets (George Herbert, John Donne, Lucy Hutchinson, etc.). She is especially interested in how poets from both eras engage with philosophical ideas through verse. More broadly speaking, she researches questions surrounding religion and literature, the sublime, and depictions of transcendence
